Siemens has the answer. Check out their Agents of Change contest. Siemens has partnered with the Discovery Channel to offer a slew of interesting prizes for the winners. Its a GREAT site (complete with "green" action heroes). The Agents of Change contest...

challenges you and your team [of 6th-8th graders] to choose an environmental issue in your own community that you care about; to learn all you can about it; and to design and act on a solution that will make it better. You will be encouraged to use your creativity and all you know about science to create real-world changes. You’ll also help other students across the nation improve their communities by sharing your results.

What happened in the 2004 competition and why was it never reported on? Who was responsible for this fiasco? Were the 2007 results politically motivated? Are the results being "tweaked" in order to assure maximum media coverage? There should maybe be a little less cheerleading and a little more skepticism and scrutiny of this uber-hyped event. Wasn't Siemens AG charged with massive corruption around the world in 2006-2007 in connection with their business dealings? Didn't they admit to it in 2007?
